about 2 years - 18 months, but really a 256gb 950 pro is about £150 which isn't bad for the speed/

you dont need an M.2 or PCIe SSD

dont waste your money just for higher numbers in a benchmark you're only going to run once

950 PRO 512 GB master race. 

 

Also, they're useless for consumer use.

i bought a Sata III ssd last night (120gb Hyper X Fury - Cloud 9 @ $39.99US) for a gaming install drive and was looking at the PCIe ones and it looks like for around double the price per GB you can net around triple to double the speed .. so there is value to be seen now, but i cant justify the price quite yet
